I also got some video of Archie at the beach.. There was a helicopter flying around, and I don't know that he's ever heard/seen one, so I put Reiker's long line on him. He chases boats and cars, so I had no faith he wouldn't chase the helicopter! He ignored it, though.
Jill was capturing Reiker doing this trick, I call it "Shimmy". I realize it'll wreck my downstays for a while, but it's cute and easy to get him to focus on when there's stuff.. going on!
This is just from a couple weeks ago, when I was house sitting in the country. I tried playing the come game with Reiker back in March or so, and he couldn't focus well enough to even do 2' apart. Progress! :)
We went out to Centennial park July 4 to work some dogs, and Reiker got introduced to an agility jump there. He did maybe 10 reps of restrained jumping at 10", couldn't keep the bar up at 16. We also did some focus and some "drive building" work. He has a new trick, and I call it (somewhat non-politically correctly) Hands Are For Pain, after some bad training advice that a client of mine received and shared with me. He brings me his toy and I lightly slap his muzzle and head while he shakes his toy and growls. Great fun.
Anyway, that evening I think he did a super short session of restrained agility, and we've had four weeks since then. At least one week, he did nothing since he'd injured his foot. I can't remember if he worked all three of the other sessions or not.
